If I breed two lavanders together that both have red leakage, will all their chicks have red leakage as well?

Any one know?

Their mom is self blue, not sure about their dad. From a distance they look self blue, but up close, they have some gold markings in their feathers but not porcelain.

Are they siblings? If so, then you'll probably end up reinforcing the leakage. If not, then it may be invironment or feed.

Feed with a lot of corn in it can enhance yellow in legs & feathers. I've been told this by quite a few breeders of both standard & bantam showbirds. Some breeders feed a lot of corn to enhance the yellow, some eradicate it from the birds' diet to get rid of yellowing. Just depends on the breed traits.

Sun can also cause some yellowing.

It could also be that they had porcelain somewhere in the heritage, and they could throw you some porcelain chicks.

You can't be sure until you breed them!

Who told you he was black mottled with leakage?
He is mille fleur in coloring. He may have black mottled in his genes, but he is expressing pure-looking mille fleur.

Traditionally, red leakage is only on the hackles. The rest of the bird would be black with white spots if it were black mottled.
